Fed up bending and breaking forks and trowels while weeding? The answer is here.
The trowel is there for size comparison.
What we have is a Lidl Stainless Steel fork with the two outside prongs removed and the two remaining prongs shortened back. The original handle was removed, cut down and refitted. The result is a tool that can tackle any dock or similar weed without fear of damage. Its also very handy for digging bits of herbaceous perennials off the side of big clumps to give away or for propagation.
Its an old idea
Bowles customised standard forks by removing the two outer tines to create what he described as ‘a lovely giant toothpick that almost always accompanies me when in the garden’ (‘My Garden in Spring’, 1914)
Wake me up when it's all over.
